First Look at Microsoft Surface in India »

I attended a Microsoft ISV Executive Briefing Session yesterday at the Microsoft Signature Building, Bangalore. Surprisingly, they allowed us to take a peek at Microsoft Surface. It really was cool to see a computer reacting to hand gestures, instead of the mouse and the keyboard. But what surprised me was the size of it. It looked like a big black box with a glass on top of it. So, I am not sure if it can be wall mounted. It is more like a center table.I guess it had cameras or some thing inside the black box.

We were told that it is running on Vista with 4 GB of RAM. Anyway, I am glad that there is some innovation at this end. The UI was really great.
